📖 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What’s the main difference between TCP and UDP?
A: TCP uses sequence numbers, acknowledgments, and retransmissions to ensure data arrives completely and in order — ideal for web pages, emails, and file transfers.
UDP skips all that to stay fast and lightweight, making it better for video calls, live streams, and online games.
